Casanova is one of Colose Canisius' events on 2009. Casanova is "Canisius Science Art and Language on Festival. There are lot of competitions, such as :
CANISIUS ENGLISH COMPETITION
CEC is one of the most prestigious English competition that is held by SMA Kanisius (also known as Canisius College). This is the fifth CEC, while the other four have been a success. Here, the participants not only unleash their abilities in speaking English, but also the ability to think logically and critically, ability to persuade and convince others, and ability to make everyone interested in what you say. CEC is opened for high school students all over Indonesia, and here, you will meet the greatest high school debaters, the most convincing presenters, super creative yet high quality news-board makers, and not to forget, the greatest story teller.

CSAC is one of the competitions which is held by CC in art and science. It was held also by CC on 2007 (it was greatly succesfull). This competition has a great purpose. To find a great talented persons in science, also a great animator and progammer, visual designer with the increadeble creativity, a good musician, a fotografer who has a great technic and others.
and the other events in Casanova which were great and also interesting are :
MUSIC FESTIVAL and JAZZ NITE.
I went to both of the events. And the best thing was JAZZ NITE!! so cool!! especially the last performer. Kulkul. They were so great and fantastic. Make I couldn't shut my eyes. Though, it made me so tired. Coz it was done at 12 p.m (more or less). >_< -auReL-
I went to watch movie with some of my friends to Grand Indonesia. BUT, we watched the movie at EX. Because it was cheaper. Btw, here is the review:
Around the midpoint of "Defiance"Tuvia Bielski (Daniel Craig) sits astride his horse, welcoming new arrivals to his encampment in theBelarussian forest. It is late in 1941, and the newcomers, like the other people in this makeshift settlement, are Jews from surrounding towns and villages who have fled the savagery of the German Army and its local collaborators. Tuvia addresses these terrified survivors in a calm, authoritative voice, assuring them that here, under his protection, they will be free and safe. A little boy looks up in amazement at this heroic figure and asks his mother, “Is he a Jew?”
“Jews don’t fight,” a Russian officer remarks when he meets Tuvia and his younger, angrier brother Zus (Liev Schreiber). “These Jews do” is the response, and also the gist of Edward Zwick’s stiff, musclebound new movie. Based on a book by Nechama Tec, “Defiance” tells the true and astonishing story of the Bielski partisans, who fought the Nazis and rescued hundreds of Jews through the darkest years of war and genocide.
Tuvia and Zus — along with two other brothers, Asael (Jamie Bell) and Aron (George MacKay), who is still a child — meet up in the forest after their parents have been murdered by local authorities working in league with the German invaders. The Bielski boys are rough characters — a history of smuggling and petty criminality is hinted at — who can hold their vodka and know how to shoot, how to steal and how to navigate the dense and trackless forests.
In contrast, many of the people they rescue are what Zus calls malbushim, the Hebrew word for clothes, which he uses to describe people he thinks are worthless. And this film’s characters more or less are what they wear. Tuvia cuts a dashing figure in his brown leather jacket. An older schoolteacher (Allan Corduner) with a fedora, a fine scarf and a nicely trimmed beard arrives coughing and quoting Talmud.
Another malbesh, Isaac (Mark Feuerstein), with round glasses and a nebbishy vest, can barely use a hammer. “What is it you do?” Zus asks. “I suppose you could say I was — I am — an intellectual,” Isaac stammers. Zus cannot hide his amusement, or his contempt: “This is a job?”
Well, not really, but it’s always useful, at least in a movie like this one, to have someone around to say things like “At least Descartes recognized the subjective nature of existence” or “If my friends at The Socialist Review could see me now!” And in the society that Tuvia builds in the forest (after Zus, more a fighter than an organizer, joins up with a Red Army brigade), intellectuals do have a role.
In addition to comic relief, Isaac and the schoolteacher provide a measure of ethical guidance and political counsel. Or at least they seem to. “You have ideas about community?” Tuvia asks Isaac, and later, when Tuvia, on horseback, utters the word “community,” Isaac smiles.
Mr. Zwick, whose other movies include “Glory,”“The Siege” and “Blood Diamond,” is many things, but subtle is not one of them. (Remember that horse in the first paragraph? Did I mention that it was white?) He wields his camera with a heavy hand, punctuating nearly every scene with emphatic nods, smiles or grimaces as the occasion requires. His pen is, if anything, blunter still, with dialogue that crashes down on the big themes like a blacksmith’s hammer.
And the performances he wrings from his cast would not be out of place in an old Second Avenue Yiddish melodrama or a modern Egyptian soap opera. Just as the intellectuals are on hand to argue and fret, so are the women called upon to gaze at the Bielskis with wide, melting eyes. Three of them (Alexa Davalos, Iben Hjejle and Mia Wasikowska) will be chosen as “forest wives” by Tuvia, Zus and Asael. “You saved my life,” says Lilka (Ms. Davalos) to Tuvia as they lie together, wrapped in furs and illuminated by golden sunlight. “No. You saved mine,” he says.
But while Mr. Zwick is frequently clumsy, he is not dumb. You might even say that he is an intellectual, since “Defiance” is animated as much by an idea as by rousing, emphatic emotions. It is most interesting, and most persuasive, not as a chronicle of heroic action but rather as a series of arguments — mainly between the patient Tuvia and the hot-headed Zus — about justice, righteousness and how a decent society should function. Zus is a man of action, Tuvia a man of principle, but in good dialectical fashion each one cedes some ground to the other — Tuvia by condoning and committing necessary acts of violence, Zus by saying something nice every once in a while.
I've just bought this book from one of my best friend, Jere. And then I read it as soon as I reached home after went to the mall with some of my friends. I read it only in two hours. That is surprised me too. haha. And then I knew that I'm a little crazy and fanatic about books. =P
here is the review:
Author : Mitch Albom " On his eighty-third birthday, Eddie, a lonely war veteran, dies in a tragic accident trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. With his final breath, he feels two small hands in his - and then nothing. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden but a place where you earthly life is explained to you by five people who were in it. These people may have loved ones or distant strangers (That makes the story is unexpected. ^^) Yet each of them changed your path for ever."
I like this book because of the words. So inspiratif. And there are something you can learned to live for. example : you know Adam's first night on earth? When he lays down to sleep? He thinks it's all over, right? He doesn't know what sleep is. His eyes are closing and he thinks he's leaving the world. Only he isn't. He wakes up the next morning and he had a fresh new world to work with, but he has something else too. He has his yesterday. You get to make sense of your yesterdays!"
